I’ve updated roster based on who appeared or has contacted me about playing. Based on the number of athletes playing several roster adjustments have been made. Two out of the original Softball League dates have been confirmed with locations.

New Area Director Brian Talario has added a regional event this year. Do to time restrains, this Regional event will be held on back to back nights. Flyers will tee off on Wednesday, September 18th, @ 5:00 pm. While the rest of the South Central Area athletes will tee of on Thursday, September 19th. This is due to the size of our Flyers Golf team and the golf course only having 9 holes available to us due to other events at the course.

The State Golf Tournament will also take on a two round format, either back to back nights, or an early afternoon tee time or evening tee time. Format has not been confirmed at this time.

We have been looking for different fundraisers for the AC Flyers program.

We are excited to announce that beginning January 2018, we will begin a new monthly fundraiser serving breakfast the first Saturday of the month at the Oaklawn Community Center. Our immediate need is for anyone who would like to serve on the breakfast committee. This committee will coordinate volunteers, spread the word, and work on donations. Linda Hingst is going to be our breakfast coordinator. You may contact Linda at 316-796-9976 or lrhingst@gmail.comif you would like to serve on the breakfast committee.

Each Flyer or family will be expected to volunteer one Saturday every six months. It will take approximately 6 adult volunteers and 4 Flyers per Saturday to cook, cashier, set up, serve and clean up.

Once our committee has been established, we will be notifying everyone who to contact as to what date you would like to sign up to help.

We are hoping that all Flyers will spread the word to their friends and family of this new fundraiser and invite them to come enjoy our breakfast.
